My issue is the exploitation of animals for human use. And the fact they are over crowded in empty tanks. We wouldn't condone a pet goldfish in a tank, therefore these fish shouldn't be kept in...
Well, the good news is they are very quick to reply, the bad news is essentially 'they breed therefore they must be happy' standard reply you get from this sort of thing:
Yeah, just everything I've read points to it being healthy and no danger of infections being transferred etc. It's as much the lack of stimulus and enrichment in their tanks as much as the...
I didn't, thank you Harpy. Mum said she saw someone mention possible objections over it on BBC news yesterday morning, she said the chap was trying to read from the Independent (hence me searching...
I've just read on the Independent's website that Superdrug are opening a fish spa in their Kensington store with a view to open them elsewhere in at least two other stores :(
I'm not sure where to post this.
A friend of mine is working for a local beauty spa who will soon be offering this treatment (the ones were the little carp nibble dead skin off people's feet) and...
While I agree it wouldn't be for vegan reasons, I don't like to think of vegan taxes paying for dairy to be forced onto kids. I do understand your general argument, however surely children from less...
I just logged onto the forum to vent about this after reading this very article. what a load of bunkum. The government have done loads of stupid things since coming to power but this would have...
I agree. However I really dislike the Muller advert (the thank you cows campaign thing) to me that is offensive because it's a direct link to the product. I think of the two, our focus needs to be...
Sorry for not replying to this thread for a while, but I'm always up for meeting up :) I'll have to join that forum.
asleep ona sunbeam - i just moved further away from chance too! I'm craving...
Awesome! And thanks for the link :D
I don't mind sharing the thread at all :p
I've been to Hitchcocks a few times, mostly when I was a student. I like it but find it quite expensive. I quite like Beverley! I love the Sam Smith's Pub...
I'm sure I'm not the only vegan in the city here (well I know I'm not, but curious as to if anyone is local on the forums ;) )
I can only find two decent places to eat, and that's only on weekdays,...
I used to live in and then near York! So I know it quite well. I'm afraid I live in Hull now, so of no use. But I can find any excuse to go to El Piano! :D
Years ago (back in the late 80s and early 90s) when I was a kid, each year we'd go to a hippy festival near us. Each year the RSPCA etc would e there with their stands with leaflets against hunting,...
Nope niether :D:p:tongue_ani:
(still don't have white teeth though, sort of beige at best :( )
*Dances* thank you Sandra, and everyone else who has reassured me:D Although I feel daft for passing up on Jelly Tots all this time :( they were my fave sweet years ago and mum had tonnes in at...
Is the lactic acid in Jelly Tots none dairy then? I've been avoiding them all this time unnecessarily then :(
That's what I thought Gorilla. But I do like uncaged campaigns and wonder what they mean. But they are a more animal rights 'focussed' group so maybe they have more strict regulationns over the...
oh no, i meant that it was the sort of back up that I checked after reading ingredients etc. I was just a bit curious as I am a member of a forum who aren't necessarily vegetarian but many are...
And can anyone explain further why?

What can I look for on product labelling in order to ensure my shopping remains cruelty free?
I had some bread the other day, which i suspect might have had milk powder in it. The place reassures that its freshly cooked on site and no milk products were in it, but that night and next day I...

I think the above quotes from your post says a bit about your vegan wobbles you are currently experiencing. Do you see it as a diet to follow? Or is it about lifestyle choices? I found...

It's the headlines in this story, especially the Telegraph, but other sources too, start with...
Fingers crossed they change. To be honest all that pomp and ceremony is a big pile of bear turd and they should just wear helmets or hats.
Stuff tradition. Fur wearing, female circumcision,...
Now I'm not at the point where I'm saying I agree 100% Seitan, but you know what, after trying to *defend* my omni friends and them stab me in the back, I feel a bit crud about getting worked up over...
Maybe I don't understand compassion, because I cannot comprehend knowing exactly what I will do in the future, or what others do. I may as well not bother caring about what I do now if I can only be...
I guess I'm not a vegan then. Fine. I'll go and call out for a kebab because I'm not perfect.
*Is the epitome of less helpful* :o:D:p
Please don't take this the wrong way Sandra, as I love you! :D But I find that a little upsetting, personally, as a previously lapsed vegan. Even when lapsed as both an omni then a veggie afterwards...
I think these studies are interesting. I know a lot of people in the rat fancy are cutting back on feeding rats soy due to these studies. My personal opinion is that the benefits of soy (anti cancer...
Ooo! I used to live near york, I've joined your group on facebook. I'm only in Hull, so if I'm not working (waitng on a new job to start / confirm they're definately employing me ><) I can make it...
I'm gonna join Mahk with the rambling. ;)

I don't *think* they are depressed, they are pretty active and chose to go back 'home' to their cage to sleep (apart from my eldest boy who likes to sleep behind the sofa). Their dried mix is vegan,...
I can't remember if I've posted on this thread, but I remember, some time ago voting on this option:
I'm all for keeping rescued animals or animals that otherwise need me, but against keeping other...
Korn, are you saying these creatures cannot feel pain for certain? or that it doesn't matter if they cannot feel pain? or at least pain as we feel it. I am in the middle I do not think they feel pain...
Taking Peta's word for something :eek: :p
Those links were quite interesting. The Norwegian study sounds a bit bias towards the fishing industry. However I'll take peta's with a pinch of salt also...
I think so, otherwise men would produce far far less ;) and women would end up pregnant far more. If you look at a lot of medical texts which have shown the more proactive role of the egg, they...
Can I get all feminist and philosophical on this bit here? Sperm really isn't as proactive as it has been suggested in Western metaphors regarding reproductive functions. This is a gender imagery...
